A WORD A WEEK CHALLENGE – ACTION
This week the dictionary has fallen open at the word ACTION. Now I’m a pretty inactive person when it comes to sport – and my attempts at photographing action shots are very weak – however I’ve come up with a few different types of action. Hopefully you will do a lot better. 
Looking forward to seeing see what you all come up with.
Once a week I dip into the dictionary and pick a word that the page falls open at, the challenge is to post a picture or use whatever genre you prefer to share what your take on the word is
If you are taking part don’t forget to :-
Create a post and add a link/pingback to this one so others can follow the trail and join in or check out entries of other bloggers.
Add a tag ‘A Word A Week Challenge’ in your ‘tags’ box so I can find your post easily if you would like a chance to reblogged - I like to share your posts with the rest of my readers and highlight new bloggers on the grid.
Hit the follow button if you would like an automatic alert for this challenge each week.
You have a week to post if you would like to take part – I normally post a new word each Sunday
























The night time and children shots are striking.
All good photos, but I love the shot of the kid doing the backflip. That is great action!

Thanks for dropping by! I feel action shots are still far in my photography future, still I’ll give it a shot and see what I come up with. I really like the expressionless woman rowing, something about the set of her arms or the angle. Great capture
thank you Kanerva – sometimes action is just not about speed – I think it’s more of capturing a moment or a movement – looking forward to seeing your take on the word
Stand by! I think I have something coming soon
